Low Oleic/Stearic Desaturation Index in Great Blue Herons ( Ardea herodias) with Steatitis in Southern California.

We explored differences between the adipose tissue fatty acid profiles of Great Blue Herons ( Ardea herodias) with and without steatitis. Adipose tissue from birds with steatitis exhibited inflammatory cell infiltration, low abundance of oleic acid, and a lower oleic/stearic desaturation index compared with tissue from birds without steatitis.
